Would have shot CEC Gyanesh Kumar if: VIP chief Mukesh Sahani on ECI dissent row
Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 24 (IANS) Amid the ongoing controversy over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, Vikassheel Insaan Party chief Mukesh Sahani on Thursday made a controversial remark against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, saying he would have shot him if he were permitted to get away with one murder. Sahani was speaking about his allegations against the Election Commission and its handling of the electoral roll revision exercise. What can I do? They are destroying democracy. They are destroying the democracy envisioned by BR Ambedkar. These elections are not for any leader; that is their misunderstanding. Elections are for the citizens, Sahani said. The citizens have the power to remove people if they are not working. When the time comes for the change, they compromise the ECI and do things in their favour. You have seen in Bengal, with the help of police personnel, 27 lakh voters were removed. They formed the government. You have seen in Bihar that, in the middle of the election, the Model Code of Conduct was imposed and Rs 10,000 was sent to peoples accounts, he alleged. Sahani further alleged that the Election Commission had become an extension of the BJP. So, this ECI has become the Election Commission of the BJP. I want to tell Gyanesh Kumar that not every day is the same. You should have some shame... you are playing with the Constitution of India. If I were forgiven for one murder, I would have shot Gyanesh Kumar first, he said. However, Sahani said he would abide by the Constitution and claimed that action would be taken against Kumar in the future. But what can I do? I obey the Constitution. But he will not be spared in the coming times. In 2029, under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, the government will be formed, and he will be among the first to go to jail, along with those who have committed such acts. It would be another matter if they do so before that, he said. Sahani also questioned the need for elections if, according to him, the electoral process was being manipulated. They are playing with the future. If you have to do all these things, then why are you holding elections? Stop holding elections because you are spending too much. If you are taking the mandate in your favour, then why are you conducting elections? he said. His remarks came amid reports that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised objections on at least 14 occasions over a 10-month period concerning decisions and processes related to electoral rolls and the SIR exercise. The reported objections included issues concerning the addition, deletion and restoration of voters names, changes to Form 6 and the handling and management of electoral roll data. The Election Commission, however, has maintained that all decisions, including those related to the SIR, were taken unanimously with the approval of all three Election Commissioners. It also said that individual views or observations during deliberations do not constitute separate decisions of the Commission.
CEC should resign; scrap SIR process, conduct fresh electoral roll revision: Karnataka CM Shivakumar
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 24 (IANS) Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Thursday demanded the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and called for the scrapping of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process and a fresh revision of electoral data to protect democracy and every citizens right to vote. Speaking to media in Bengaluru, CM Shivakumar said, The right to vote is the right to live. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi have raised their voices in defence of the voting rights of the people of the country. He alleged that attempts were being made to misuse the voting rights of ordinary citizens for political purposes. Similar attempts have been made in West Bengal, Bihar and several other states. Now they are trying to do the same everywhere, including Karnataka. I had also requested the Election Commission yesterday to give more time, he said. Referring to differences among members of the Election Commission, CM Shivakumar claimed that the autonomy given to the poll panel was being misused. When a majority of the members do not agree with an opinion, a decision cannot be imposed unilaterally. It would be better if the Chief Election Commissioner voluntarily resigns on moral grounds, he said. The Chief Minister demanded that the ongoing SIR process be scrapped and a fresh exercise be undertaken. We are not talking about Congress votes or BJP votes. Every citizen has the right to vote, and that is the right to live. Nobody can suppress that right, he said. Referring to Forms 6, 7 and 8 used in the electoral roll revision process, CM Shivakumar questioned the manner in which the current exercise was being conducted and alleged that it could particularly affect illiterate and disadvantaged sections of society. This is not merely a matter of opinion. It is a fundamental right. This is the voice of the common man, he said. He also said that the issue should be debated on a larger platform, including in Parliament, and opposed any alleged pressure or intimidation of officials in different states in the name of the Election Commission. We want a fresh SIR to be conducted. Everyone should be given their rights. The situation must be reviewed comprehensively to ensure the right to every vote, and the electoral data must be re-examined, CM Shivakumar said.

Jammu Police arrest fugitive after seven-month manhunt
Jammu, Sep 23: Jammu Police have arrested Karanjeet alias Gugga, a wanted criminal who had escaped from the Juvenile Home at R.S. Pura in February this year, after a nearly seven-month-long manhunt, SSP Jammu said on Wednesday. Addressing a press conference, the SSP said Karanjeet was among three inmates who escaped from the juvenile home following an incident in February. The other two, both Pakistani nationals, were later arrested in Ambala with the assistance of Punjab and Haryana Police. Following the escape, the investigation was handed over to the DSP SOG and a Special Investigation Team headed by the SP Operations was constituted to trace those involved. Eight people were arrested in that case. The investigation continued and at the same time we were trying to arrest Karanjeet alias Gugga, the SSP said. He said Karanjeet was involved in around 12 to 13 FIRs and police tracked his movements by developing information about his associates and gang links. Police teams followed leads in several locations, including Gorakhpur, Kolkata, Delhi and Maharashtra, but he managed to evade arrest. The SSP said police recently received information that Karanjeet was staying with some associates in Chandigarh. A team raided the suspected location but did not find him there. During the follow-up investigation, police learnt that he was staying at a hotel in Delhi. An SOG team subsequently travelled to Delhi and arrested him, the SSP said. He said the arrest was significant for the ongoing investigation into the juvenile home incident, as police had identified additional persons linked to the case. The SSP said Karanjeets interrogation would help establish missing links in the investigation, including how weapons and mobile phones reached the juvenile home. Police had earlier arrested the person who allegedly supplied the weapons, while further investigation is underway to establish the complete chain, he said. The SSP said Karanjeet had been moving between different locations to evade arrest, with police following leads across Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra and Delhi. On security arrangements at the juvenile home, the SSP said the police had taken up the matter with the concerned department and another location had also been identified for housing inmates. He said further details would emerge as the interrogation of Karanjeet progresses.

Opposition unity: SP-Congress rift in UP a close reminder of 2025 Bihar polls
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS) The latest exchange between leaders of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election is a reminder of opposition parties making the political contest against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secondary to the war of attrition within its own ranks. While the BJP has begun strengthening its organisation and preparing for the high-stakes electoral battle next year, sections among its principal rivals appear preoccupied with settling the question of who should be leading the Opposition. This is currently the contention between SP MP Iqra Hasan and Congress MP Imran Masood. Hasan reportedly said that only SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav is capable of defeating the BJP in Uttar Pradesh and suggested that the Congress could achieve little on its own. Masood is said to have responded by insisting that Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is the only Opposition leader with a national reach capable of unsettling the BJP. The signal thus emerging from Uttar Pradesh is that despite repeated assurances from the top leadership of both parties that the alliance remains intact, there is still no consensus on hierarchy, ownership and political primacy within. That should worry Opposition ranks at this hour. In the 2024 Lok Sabha election, the SP emerged as the principal beneficiary of the alliance, winning far more seats than the Congress and re-establishing itself as the state's dominant Opposition force. Akhilesh Yadav sought to broaden his party's social coalition with PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, and Alpsankhyak) and provided a coherent political message against the BJP. It is the principal reason that SP leaders see Akhilesh Yadav, not Rahul Gandhi, as the central face of any challenge in Uttar Pradesh. But for the Congress, despite the political setbacks, Rahul Gandhi's national campaign against the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) remains the focus, saying that national visibility and a broader anti-BJP platform that regional parties alone cannot provide. For a probable alliance platform, the trouble is that rather than discussing it internally, opinions are being aired publicly. Uttar Pradesh has seen alliances collapse under the weight of leadership ambiguity and seat-sharing disputes. Yet, the issue of the top face has emerged larger than whether voters believe the coalition's common purpose. Before the Bihar Assembly election last year, the Opposition Mahagathbandhan spent months wrestling with questions that should have been resolved early. There were disputes over seat-sharing between the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress, and among other allies, with disagreements over each party's bargaining power and persistent speculation over leadership arrangements. Reports at the time highlighted friction between the RJD and Congress as negotiations dragged on and both parties accused each other of being inflexible. It created the impression that alliance partners were more concerned with protecting their respective egos than presenting a united alternative. Even when compromises were eventually reached, public memory of the wranglings lingered. Back in Uttar Pradesh too, seat-sharing remains a sensitive issue. Congress leaders have pushed for an early settlement, while the SP appears less eager to finalise arrangements. Congress functionaries have spoken of fighting on equal terms and demanding greater space, while SP leaders have projected confidence in their independent strength. However, electoral logic strongly favours cooperation. The Congress is too weak in the state to seriously challenge the BJP on its own, while the SP knows that even a modest Congress vote share can matter in closely fought Assembly constituencies. Like Bihar, a public spat may not augur well where every spat on who is the eal Opposition face chips away at voter's confidence. The BJP will likely benefit from such utterances. While Opposition leaders debate credit, the ruling party's well-oiled electoral machine is preparing early, strengthening organisation and focusing on booth-level mobilisation. The Opposition needs to have learnt its lesson from Bihar where too much time and animosity now on leadership and seat-sharing may pose a similar risk. They would do well to remember that elections are rarely won by deciding who gets top billing in the Opposition poster, though these make good debate; rather, won by convincing voters that everyone on that poster is working towards the same goal.

Bihar: Former Patna councillor shot five times in Buddha Colony
Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 23 (IANS) A former Patna municipal councillor was critically injured after unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire on him in the Buddha Colony police station area of Patna on Wednesday. The victim, Anil Yadav, was sitting in the basement of his apartment complex with some supporters when two men arrived on a motorcycle and allegedly opened fire. Yadav was hit by multiple bullets, with reports indicating that he was shot around five times. He was rushed to Udyan Hospital in Patna, where he is undergoing treatment and remains under medical supervision. The shooting took place in a residential locality, triggering panic among residents. A girls hostel is located on the first floor of the apartment building where the incident occurred, adding to the commotion following the firing. According to residents, the assailants fled the spot after the shooting while allegedly carrying firearms. Police from the Buddha Colony police station arrived soon after receiving information about the incident. Officers inspected the scene and questioned residents and other witnesses. Investigators are examining CCTV footage from cameras installed in the apartment complex and nearby areas to identify the attackers. Police teams have also been conducting raids at suspected hideouts to apprehend those involved. Krishna Murari Prasad, ASP (Law and Order), said a police team had reached the scene after receiving information about the shooting. The entire matter is being investigated. Police are scrutinising footage from CCTV cameras at the scene and in the surrounding areas. Efforts are underway to identify the perpetrators based on this footage. The police are also conducting raids at suspected hideouts to apprehend the attackers, he said. Police are also investigating the motive behind the attack and are examining various possible angles, including the possibility of previous enmity. Anil Yadav is a former councillor from Ward No. 24 of the Patna Municipal Corporation, while his wife is the current councillor from the ward. The latest attack has also drawn attention because Yadavs son was reportedly shot dead a few days ago. Police are examining whether there could be any connection between the two incidents. Following the shooting, police deployment has been increased in the area as investigators work to identify and arrest the attackers. The investigation is ongoing.
Bihar: Hareram Yadav sent to judicial custody in Jamui case
Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 23 (IANS) Hareram Yadav, arrested in connection with the alleged assault and molestation of a minor girl in Bihars Jamui district, was produced before a special POCSO court on Wednesday and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days. After being declared medically fit by a doctor, Yadav was brought before the court of Maheshwar Dubey, Special Judge for POCSO cases. The court subsequently sent him to judicial custody. During the court appearance, advocate Akash Pandey allegedly slapped Yadav inside the court premises, briefly creating a commotion. Pandey explained his action by saying he felt deep outrage against the accused and considered the slap symbolic of the anger of the entire town of Jamui. Jamui Superintendent of Police Vishwajeet Dayal said one of the three individuals initially detained as juveniles was subsequently found to be an adult. According to the SP, eight arrests have been made so far, five in connection with the alleged molestation case and three in connection with the circulation of the viral video. Nandan Yadav, identified by police as the main accused, was apprehended on Tuesday after sustaining a gunshot injury to his leg during a police encounter. Hareram Yadav had been arrested before Nandans apprehension. Police said two minors and another accused, found to be on the borderline of adulthood, have already been sent to a juvenile correction facility and jail, respectively. Investigators have identified six individuals in connection with the alleged molestation case. Police have arrested five, while one accused, Ranjeet Ram of Pratappur, remains absconding. The Cyber Police Station has identified around 120 social media accounts allegedly involved in circulating the video and is preparing further action against them. A separate case, registered as Case No. 45/2026 at the Jamui Cyber Police Station, concerns the circulation of unblurred videos involving minors, which police said exposed their identities. Police have already arrested three alleged social media handlers and sent them to judicial custody. The arrested individuals have been identified as Yogendra Prasad Yadav of Auraiya Para Matihana in Sono block, Faiyaz Shah of Adsar in Jamui city, and Ramashish Kumar of Sagma in Chandradeep block. Police have also registered cases against several other individuals allegedly involved in circulating the video on platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and X.

Cases have been registered under relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act.
